Testimonial

Maria Ortega and her accounting firm has supported our monthly accounting and financial reporting since 2019. In 2022, she continued providing the same high-level service through her firm, Independent Accounting Services.

She quickly understood our industry, identified pain points, and implemented practical solutions — including a new accounting system that improved reporting accuracy and cash flow visibility. Her insight led to better weekly cash flow management and more informed business decisions.

Maria also handles all CPA communications to ensure we stay in tax compliance. She is knowledgeable, professional, and truly invested in our success. If your business needs reliable, affordable, and personalized financial support, we highly recommend Maria Ortega and Independent Accounting Services.
